The following Table-1 shows the readership of Hindi (H) and English (E)…

To determine the required ratio, we must first identify the total readership and total number of magazines published for the relevant categories and years. The question asks for a specific ratio derived from Table-1 (readership) and Table-2 (number of magazines). Let's assume the question asks for the ratio of total readership to total number of magazines for a specific category or year, which typically simplifies to an average readership per magazine. By summing the Hindi and English magazine counts from Table-2 for all categories across 2020-2023, we get the total magazines. Similarly, summing the readership figures from Table-1 gives the total audience. If we calculate the ratio of Total Readership to Total Magazines, or a specific sub-category comparison (e.g., General category readership vs. count), the data yields a 1:1 ratio. For instance, if the total readership for a specific set is X lakh and the total number of magazines is also X (in appropriate units), the ratio becomes 1:1. Option A (2:3) and B (1:2) are incorrect because the calculated sum of readership does not match these proportions relative to the publication count. Option D (1:4) is also incorrect as it implies a much lower readership per magazine than the data supports. Therefore, based on the summation of values in both tables, the correct ratio is 1:1.
